Projects
| Category | Description | Status | Trend | Priority | Est. Completion Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | ID System Replacement The current ID System is being replaced by a modern and more accurate system using enterprise grade database and ETL solutions. In addition to resolving numerous bugs and technical debt, the new system will prove much more timely access to data and increase the efficiency and control around which data can be provided to departments and applications. The replacement system is currently being brought into alignment with the legacy system. Upon alignment, the legacy system will be replaced following a strangler fig pattern. |

| Access | Access Management The IAM team will be reaching out to new and existing application owners to adopt the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) platform for access management. This will enable application owners to easily manage access to and in their applications with the added benefit of being centrally managed and audited. Features include reporting, adding/removing permissions, and certifying that access levels are correct. This is a long term project, and currently "crown jewel" applications are being prioritized. |

| Authentication | Microsoft Entra SSO Microsoft Entra provides a contemporary authentication and authorization platform for cloud based and on-premise applications. Migrating SSO services to Entra will enable significantly more security features and reporting. Migrating services away from CAS and onto Microsoft's cloud will significantly improve reliability and availability, and ensure login services remain available even in the event of a UConn outage. |
